[Coco] NitrOS9 and Basic09

[Dave Philipsen]

How is the computer interfaced to your milling machine?  You could create a m/l subroutine that gets called from B09 when you want to move the head.  You pass the m/l routine the number of steps in the Y direction, the number of steps in the X direction, and then some sort of speed constant. This would work pretty well especially if you do not need to interrupt the movement for any reason.  I think the best way to do it is write a subroutine module but I'd have to do some research on exactly how you would link to it and call it from B09.

Now I'm sure that doesn't make much sense but, there are times when I would like it to be faster than it is. But other times, I need it to slow down. I use this machine for operating my "Micro-Mill" and when I'm just moving the head, it takes forever, using pokes to step the stepper motors. However, when it's actually cutting metal, that would be too fast and I would love to be able to slow it down. That's the easy part. Speeding it up is not.
